The Fino vs. Manzanilla battle was promising because, on one hand, it is a classic issue that is often a topic of debate, and on the other, the opponents were none other than Jorge Pascual and César Saldaña, who are well-versed, professional, and dedicated aficionados of Sherry wines.

Before we began the battle, there was an introduction to the concept of the D´Sherry Explorers and, then, the swearing-in of new members. We are now 111 tireless explorers of Sherry and Manzanilla wines, Brandy, Sherry Vinegar, and even the local wines of the Province of Cadiz!!

It was a debate that was fascinating, informative, and entertaining. We all learned a lot and we enjoyed ourselves by watching Jorge defend Sherry wine and César defend Manzanilla wine. The conclusions that were reached deserve the preparation of an entire article on our blog. But, who won? We have attached a youtube link so that you can see the result.

We were also honored with the presence of Maria Antonia Martínez Varela, the El Puerto City representative of Historical Asset Preservation, and José Maria Morillo, the El Puerto City Director of Tourism, and their companions.

Of course, after the battle, we all had to try some Fino Sherry and Manzanilla with the tapas provided by the D´Sherry Explorers. As usual, there was a secret jury that selected the best tapas. That is never an easy task since there is always a good variety of delicious tapas.
